ANGER AND OUTRAGE

Louisville Cops Arrest 125+ at Protests After Officers Dodge Breonna Taylor Shooting Charges

Protests raged through the night, leaving two police officers in the hospital with gunshot wounds.

At least 127 Louisville protesters have been arrested during overnight demonstrations fueled by anger and outrage over a grand jury’s failure to charge officers for the shooting death of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor in March. On Wednesday, in a stunning decision, a grand jury indicted just one of the officers who took part in the attack on Taylor, former Det. Brett Hankison, with three counts of wanton endangerment for bullets that entered an adjoining apartment. The shots that killed the Black emergency medical technician were not deemed criminal. Protests raged through the night, leaving two police officers in the hospital with gunshot wounds, The Washington Post reports. The wounded officers are expected to recover, police said. Louisville Metropolitan Police officials said the arrests overnight were on charges of vandalism, looting, and unlawful assembly.
